About Dance with Life 公共藝術

這是一件由不鏽鋼所打造的公共藝術作品，安裝在一個公共空間的廣場中心水景中，主體是由兩個數學的無限符號上下交織而成，整體造型中結合了具有風動結構的風動裝置，平常呈現靜止的狀態，但當風大於結構阻力時，就會驅動風動裝置自由轉動。這件作品象徵著對生命探索的無限自由，也傳達出積極正面充滿希望的願景。

Production Technology: It is made of stainless steel, The metal surface includes 3 kinds of textures, such as mirror polishing and grinding, and titanium plating. In order to reduce the resistance caused by the weight of the parts, the two ends of the wind structure are composed of ball bearings and tapered bearings.
Design Challenge: The public art of wind structure is the spiritual value of this sculpture. The most difficult thing is to consider the wind-driven structure in the process of creating the sculptural form, and to combine the two into one in the perfect design aesthetics. This is a big challenge. But the process is very interesting.
Research: This wind-structured public sculpture is installed in a residential area of New Town. This is a very important landmark. Hope to make people feel the wonder between life and the universe, and also be full of expectations for the future.
Inspiration: Inspired by the ∞, the symbol of infinity in mathematics is ∞, which comes from the Latin infinitas, which means no boundary. This work takes it as the core, and uses bright stainless steel to construct a smooth and A shape with a sense of visual penetration.In order to enhance the overall details and aesthetic feeling, a group of golden wind-moving structures that can rotate naturally under the drive of the wind are set up by using the gap generated in the center of the two interlaced structures, conveying the spiritual symbol of the endless cycle of life.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and finished with installation in Taichung,Taiwan in October 2022
Operation Flow: The installation position of the sculpture is at the center point of the main moving line. Visitors can interact and approach work from all directions. It is a popular object for photographers and tourists.
